Doodle Maths summer challenge

Doodle Maths have created their biggest DoodleMaths Summer Challenge ever and made it even easier to take part!

According to a study by the University of Bath just 20 minutes of DoodleMaths a week is scientifically proven to combat learning loss. This inspired the launch of the Summer Challenge which has already prevented learning loss in thousands of children.

What you need to do
Step 1: Log in to the Parent Dashboard and in the Summer Challenge panel, press Register next to your child’s name (you will need to set up a parent account if you have not already done this – it’s free and easy to do)

Step 2: Encourage your child to earn 750 stars (or 600 if they were born after 31/08/13) and achieve a 14-day streak in DoodleMaths

Step 3: When your child has reached their goal, visit the Parent Dashboard and press Submit entry to claim their reward
If you have any questions or need any help, just head to the Parent Dashboard or doodlemaths.com, and click on the green chat icon to find answers or speak with the Doodle Parent Support Team.

Swanage Food Bank

Please note that the Swanage Food Bank accepts self-referals. If you feel you need their help, you can call them on 07759 230313 .

The Food Bank has been so busy this week they’ve run out of all desserts – tinned fruit, custard, milk puddings, instant puddings. They’ve also no meat products left, including Frey Bentos pies, cold meats and tins of minced beef, stew, chilli con carne, chicken in sauce etc. Packets of rice, and tinned vegetables are also low in stock. The luxuries of sweets and chocolates have been used up, which aren’t strictly necessary but lift the clients’ hearts a bit at this difficult time.

Gifts can be left in the Food Bank containers in the following locations

  • Co-op
  • Budgens
  • Costcutters
  • Spa (Arkwrights)
  • at the Food Bank (the Food Bank which is open from 12-2 on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at the Salvation Army Lower Hall in King’s Road East)
  • in the porch just inside the All Saints building.

All contributions will be really appreciated.

Stations of the Cross

This activity is based on a version of the Via Crucis used by Pope John Paul II at the Colosseum in Rome; it can be used to engage children in the Passion story. Working through each station, allow time for the children to reflect on each state of the story and complete the activity. Say the prayer together before moving to the next station.
